Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade announced plans on September 30 to select lead organisations for two strategic technology research projects. Decisions 2370 and 2371/QD-BCT, issued on September 23, approved the commissioned projects.

One covers a dual-arm industrial robot integrating computer vision and AI for electronics assembly. The other concerns a computer-vision and AI software platform for smart manufacturing in processing and manufacturing industries. The approval decisions define the required outputs; the announcement starts the selection process rather than reporting completed technology.
